10 Amazing Italian Dishes You Can Make in a Leo Palace Kitchen
The Leo Palace kitchens (and in fact most Japanese kitchens) are incrediby small compared to those in Western houses. All you have at your disposal is a single gas hob (maybe 2) a tiny table and a measly oven toaster. What food could you possibly create, and how would you find the right ingredients in Nagoya? Try some of these Italian classics!
Ingredients
This is obviously the most important part. Without the right ingredients you'll end up with bad tasting Italian food. You will be able to find the majority of the ingredients for these recipes in your local Japanese supermarket without spending too much. You just need to look in the right place! Other ingredients will need to be bought from an international food store (such as Seijo Ishii) and will cost you a bit more, but usually they will give your 4-5 servings and can be kept in the fridge.
These items are available in all good Japanese supermarkets...
Buffalo Mozarella Raw Shrimp
Lasagna Vanilla Essence
Breadcrumbs for meatballs Mascarpone (japanese made)
Dry Yeast Bread Flour for pizza
Full Cream (for carbonara) Sweet Basil (スウィートバジル)
The following items are usually only available in International supermarkets....
Imported Pesto (650yen) Pancetta
Imported Parmesan (750yen) Italian Mascarpone (600yen)
Imported Ricotta (600yen) Sponge fingers for Tiramisu (300yen)
1. Spaghetti Carbonara
Very, very easy. Fry up some bacon (or pancetta) in olive oil with garlic first. Then cook your spaghetti. For the sauce, all you need is 100ml of cream and 1 egg yolk (per person). Mix up the sauce with some black pepper and parmesan. Put the spaghetti and cream sauce on the frying pan along with the bacon, cook it quickly (10-15 seconds) so it gets hot and remove it from the heat before the eggs get scrambled. If you have some parsley you can add it on top.
Dead easy and absolutely delicious!
Tip#1- If you use the full cream it is 800 calories per 200ml carton, but it tastes great. Single cream is about 350 calories.
Tip#2- Buy a block of real Parmigiano Reggiano instead of the KRAFT stuff. It costs twice as much, but it lasts 2-3 times as long, and tastes far better.
Tip#3- This dish works just as well with salmon or tuna, which you can easily get from the sashimi section of your supermarket. If you are using fish, it is a good idea to mix in some broccolli as well.
Cost- about 300-400 yen per serving.
2. Spaghetti Genovese with fresh shrimps
Extremely easy and absolutely delcious. Go to an international supermarket and buy some good pesto (pictured at the top). It costs 680yen and you get 4-5 servings out of a jar.
Procedure- cook spaghetti. Drain spaghetti. Cook some pesto with a bit of olive oill and add the raw shrimps (preferably skinned). When the shrimps are pink, it is ready.
Cost- about 400 yen for a plate for 2 people.
Tip#1- You can get fresh spaghetti in japanese supermarkets if you want- it costs 300 yen for 4 portions and can be found next to the chilled pizzas, or next to the chilled Japanese noodles.
Tip#2- If you like this dish, you can remake it with other kinds of fish. Go to the sashimi section and get the tuna, or salmon, or any other kind of fish. Cook it until it looks good, safe in the knowledge that the Japanese eat it raw.
3. Beef Meatballs
Procedure- Click Here
Tip- Instead of Ricotta, just use Cottage cheese, which can be found in any Japanese supermarket for about 250yen
Cost- depending on the quality of beef, it will cost 400-700 yen and you'll make enough meatballs for 2 people.
4. Tuna Meatballs
A healthier version of meatballs, and very easy to make. Tastes great!
Procedure. Get some tuna sashimi, cut it into small pieces and mix it with an egg and some panko (japanese breadcrumbs). The breadcrumbs should be a quarter of the tuna weight. Western TV chefs always recommend panko (Japanese breadcrumbs) which is convenient because panko are the only option in Japan!
Into the mix add a few drops of lemon juice, some pine nuts, some parmesan cheese, and some dried oregano, salt and pepper. Roll it into balls and fry the meatballs in olive oil. Great served with tomato sauce or on its own.
Tip #1- You won't find the pine nuts next to the other nuts in the supermarket. Look in the chinese food section and you'll find them there.
Tip #2- You can buy dried oregano, lemon juice and salt and pepper in the 100 yen shop.
Cost- 400 yen for enough tuna meatballs for 2 people.
5. Lasagna
You might think it would be difficult to make a good Lasagna but it is actually very, very easy.
Buy the above lasagna set. Inside are two small tins for you to bake two small Lasagna in, and all the ingredients you need. If you have a bigger dish, you can put the Lasagna in that and make one big Lasagna.
Procedure- Boil water and mix it with cold water so it becomes warm water. Soak the pasta sheets for 3 minutes. To increase the meat content, fry some beef mince and mix it with the tomato sauce.
Then layer the pasta sheets on the tin. Put pasta at the base, followed by some meat sauce then some bechamel sauce. Add some parmesan on top of the bechamel sauce if you want. Repeat this process 5 times until you have a layered lasagna. Put some kitchen foil on top of the lasagna so it doesn't burn and put it in your oven toaster for 15 minutes. Then remove the foil and give it another 5 minutes in the oven toaster. Tastes perfect with some green salad. Enough for 2 people or one hungry person.
Cost- about 650 yen if you add extra mince and parmesan. Serves 2.
6.Mini Pizza Margherita
This is another food which you might think is difficult to make, but using this method you can easily create a pizza which is far nicer, cheaper and healthier than delivery pizza. Once you get the hang of this, you'll never go back to ordering pizzas or buying them in the supermarket, and even in restaurants you'll realise that this is just as good.
1. Make the dough. This is the hardest part of the process, but once you've done it you'll have enough dough for a lot of pizzas and you can put the doughballs in the fridge or freezer. First, mix two sachets of yeast powder with 150ml of warm water and some sugar. Leave the yeast mixture to settle for 10 minutes and weigh 200 grams of bread flour. Then mix the yeast water and flour together with your hands, and a bit of olive oil, until you have a big soft ball of dough. This dough ball will make 4 full size pizzas or 8 mini pizzas. Let the dough ball rise a bit for an hour or two and then seperate it into smaller pieces. Put the dough you don't need in bags with some olive oil in the fridge or freezer.
2. Press or roll your dough ball into a pizza size that will fit in both your frying pan and then your oven toaster. Small size works better. Fry the pizza in a little bit of olive oil on both sides. It should become crispy on both sides and smell great.
3. Put tomato sauce on the pizza. You can do this in one of three ways. Fry some good tinned tomatoes with a bit of garlic until they are thick. Or, fry a single fresh, skinned tomato with some garlic until thick. Or, use some of the Japanse pizza sauce from the chilled section of your supermarket. The first option is probably the best if you can get nice tinned tomatoes, but you will end up with enough tomato sauce for 8 pizzas, so you might want to use it for another pasta dish.
4. Put some buffalo mozarella on the pizza, and some chopped basil. Don't use other types of mozarella cheese. Put the pizza in your oven toaster until the cheese is bubbling. It is a good idea to put kitchen foil under the pizza.
5. Let the pizza cool for 4-5 minutes or you'll get burnt.
It should be crispy and smell and taste absolutely perfect. Also, it is surprsingly low calorie as well (around 300 calories per mini pizza)
Tip- Don't put too much tomato or extra toppings on your pizza or it will be over weighed and fall apart. It is better to make another one if you are still hungry. Remember, these pizzas are very light and low calorie so eating two is not a problem.
Cost- less than 100yen per pizza.
7.Risotto with pancetta
Procedure- Click here.
Very simple to make, but it takes about 15 minutes.
Tip #1- Pancetta is not to everyone's taste due to the high salt content. You can easily substitute it for normal bacon, chicken, squid, shrimps or octopus (which also happen to be cheaper!). In this case, you will need to add some extra olive oil at the beginning.
Tip #2- Risotto rice is available in International supermarkets in Nagoya, but it is not cheap. You could use Thai Jasmine rice, which is almost identical and a bit cheaper.
Tip #3- the chicken stock is a vital ingredient. Just look for 'chicken consomme' in a japanese supermarket. You can even buy it in some 100yen shops!
Tip #4- add some Japanese spinach (ほうれん草) to the risotto.
Cost- around 400yen per serving.
8.Italian Style Steak
Just about the easiest thing on this list, and if you buy a nice piece of steak this tastes amazing.
Procedure. Coat the steak in a little olive oil, and then sprinkle with black pepper and salt. Don't put any oil in the pan. Fry the steak on a very high heat for 2 minutes on either side, or 3 minutes if it is a thick steak. Don't move the steak at all. Let it fry in one spot.
On a chopping board get some parsley and chop it up. Add a little bit of olive oil and half a tea spoon of lemon juice. Put the cooked steak on the parsley and let it rest for a minute, then cut it on top of the parsley. The parsley and lemon juice will soak up the juice from the steak and create an amazing salsa.
Cost- depends on the type of steak. Imported american and australian steaks cost 400-500yen, a nice fillet steak will cost 600-800yen, and some of the marbled Japanese steaks cost 1000-2000yen.
Tip#1- Go for the middle option and get a nice fillet steak or rump steak costing around 800yen.
Tip#2- Cut the fat off the steak at the board stage.
9.Tiramisu
Tiramisu is available in all Japanese supermarkets, convenience stores and most restaurants in Nagoya, and it almost always tastes dull and boring. Luckily, making real, delicious Tiramisu is extremely easy.
Buy some sponge fingers (aka Lady Fingers) from an international supermarket. Get some mascarpone. 100 grams is enough for 1-2 people. Mix the 100 grams of mascarpone with 12 grams of sugar (1 table spoon) and about 5 ml of Vanilla essence. If you want it to be truly authentic, mix in one egg yolk per person as well.
Now dip the sponge fingers in a cup of cold, sugared coffee. (The stronger the coffee the better). Dip the sponge fingers for less than a second, or they will take on too much liquid and fall apart. In the picture above you can see that the centre of the fingers is still virtually dry.
Layer the sponge fingers on the bottom of your tray/plate. If you want, you can pour some alcohol on top of them. Sweet wine, kaluha or brandy are the best options, but don't use too much!
After this is done, spoon the mascarpone mix on top and use a knife to make it flat. Then add another layer of coffee dipped fingers, and some more mascarpone. Again, you can add some alcohol if you want. 4 fingers is enough for one person.
Finally, put cocoa powder on the top. Put it in the fridge and let it set. You can even put it in the freezer if you want. It tastes absolutely amazing.
Tip #1- It's quite high in calories so don't eat this on a regular basis, but for a special occasion you can't beat it!
Tip #2- For the the tiramisu to be a great shape, put it in a tight deep container and give it a night or two in the fridge
Cost- about 500-600yen for a 2 person tiramisu.
10.Torta di Lamponi (Raspberry Tart)
This is another superb dessert using mascarpone. First you need to find the tart base and some raspberries to put on top. The most convenient shop for these two items is TOMIZAWA Chocolate Cellar, located in the basement of Midland Square. You can get frozen raspberries and other types of berries for about 350yen. You can get tart bases in large and small sizes for around 300yen. You will need 100 grams of mascarpone for 4 small small cakes, or about 200-250 for a large cake.
Mix 100 grams mascarpone with 5ml of vanilla essence and 9-12 grams of sugar. Also mix in one quarter of cream. So 100grams of mascarpone would need about 25 ml of cream.
If you have a big enough oven toaster you can toast the tart base a bit, but you don't have to.
Then simply spoon on the mascarpone mix and put the berries on top. Melted jam is optional extra but the cake will taste extremely good without it.
Tip #1- If you buy the frozen berrries from Tomizawa, don't bother defrosting them. It is easier to put them on the cake when they are frozen hard and let them defrost on the cake.
Tip #2- If you want to change the berries, you can also get frozen cherries at Tomizawa, and fresh blueberries at most Japanese supermarkets.
11. Lemon Sherbet
Ok, so the article says 10 dishes and this is number 11. Well, it is a bonus!
Again, this is very easy to make, and one of the cheapest things on the list. Get 50 grams of sugar and 50 ml water and bring them to the boil in a pan. Simmer them for 5 mins and then they will become a syrup. Let it cool down for a few minutes. While this is happening, grate the zest of one lemon, and get 50ml of lemon juice. Mix the juice and syrup together and add one table spoon of mascarpone. Put the mix in a container in your freezer. A very refreshing dessert that can easily be made with one of the above desserts.
Cost- the above recipe serves 2 people and will cost just 200yen.
Tip#1- It will only keep for 2-3 days in the freezer.
Tip#2- It is very refreshing, but also sweet and tangy, so just make a small amount.
